Chapter 152

Liam's POV I did not sleep.I tried somewhere around two in the morning, loosened my tie, sat on the edge of the bed still in my charcoal suit and stared at the ceiling until I had memorised every crack in it. My body was done but my mind refused to follow, running the same loop over and over, the council room, the evidence on that table, Ivy's face when I said those words. Eventually I stopped pretending, got up, poured a drink I did not finish, and sat at the window until grey morning light started bleeding through the glass.Balaam had not said a word all night. He was just there, sitting somewhere heavy in my chest, the way he sat when he was angry about something neither of us could fix right now.Rixon came in at seven with coffee and toas

Chapter 153

Ivy's POVI had stopped expecting anything.That was the thing about sitting in a cold dungeon long enough, your mind eventually got tired of hoping and just went quiet. The stone floor had long stolen whatever warmth was left in my body and the burgundy gown I had been wearing since the party was creased beyond saving, the hem dusty, the fabric sitting heavy on me in a way that felt like shame. I had my knees pulled to my chest, my back against the wall, and I was not thinking about the charges or the elders or even Tulip's face when she walked out of here earlier. I was thinking about Liam.About what would happen if Balaam took hold of him one day in the wrong room with the wrong person and there was nobody there to pull him back. About the Ring of Fire and Caius and the look on his face in that council room before he said those words. I was thinking about all of it when my stomach turned over hard and I barely made it to the corner of the cell before I was on my knees vomiting, on

Chapter 154

Liam's POV I was pacing the hallway outside her room with my phone pressed to my ear, still in the charcoal trousers and white dress shirt from the night before, sleeves rolled, the first two buttons undone. I had not eaten since yesterday. There was a tray of food Tom had left on the side table near the window that I kept walking past without touching, scrambled eggs going cold, coffee long dead."Talk to me," I said.Rixon's voice came through steady, the way it always did when the information was bad enough that he had decided to deliver it without emotion. "Your uncle is not working alone. I had someone trail him last night after he left the estate." A pause. "He drove straight to Caius Park."I stopped walking.

Chapter 155

Ivy's POV I woke up to sunlight. My body still ached in the deep way that came from too much stress and too little food, but I was alive and warm and that was already more than I had expected when I closed my eyes last night. I reached to my left without looking. The space beside me was empty and cool. I sat up. The bedroom door swung open and Maxine walked in carrying a wooden tray with the kind of confidence that made it clear she had not knocked because she had not considered it necessary. She was in a fitted rust-coloured blouse and dark trousers, her hair loose around her shoulders, and on the

Chapter 156

Ivy's POV I had one bar of signal and I used it like it was the last thing I had left.The number was not saved. It never was. I had memorised it the same way I had memorised everything my grandfather ever taught me, not by writing it down but by repeating it in my head until it became as automatic as breathing. Maxine had stepped out to get more food, Tom was somewhere in the building, the room was quiet, so I sat cross-legged on the bed in the black long-sleeve and dark trousers, pressed call, and waited.It rang four times. My stomach was already tightening when the line connected and his voice came through, low and slow and completely unbothered by the hour."Ivy."

Chapter 157

Liam's POV I left for one night and everything is in a disaster. But the moment I pulled through the Blue Elite gates and saw the east wing lights blazing and three of my men standing outside the medical quarters with expressions that told the story before anyone opened their mouth, I understood it had nothing to do with my brother or Caius, someone more powerful had orchestrated this. Balaam had known something was wrong before I did.I found Rixon in the second room, propped up against the headboard of the medical bed, a thick bandage wrapped around his left shoulder, an IV line running into his arm, his face carrying the grey undertone of someone who had lost more blood than was comfortable. He was conscious, which meant he was al

Chapter 158

Liam's POV“Dorian.”I actually laughed. Because the alternative was putting my fist through the wall and I had already done that twice this week and Rixon's medical room did not deserve it."He's claiming to be the eldest," I said. "With what proof exactly.""That's the thing." Rixon shifted against the headboard, wincing slightly as the bandaged shoulder moved. "He sent a copy of a birth mark. Said he carries the same crest mark that Caius and I have." He paused. "On the left side of the ribs. Exact position."The laughter stopped.That mark was not public knowledge. It was not in any document, not in any record, not something an outsider could research or guess. The only people who knew about the crest birthmarks were family, blood family, and a handful of people who had been close enough to my father to be trusted with things he kept off paper."He also wrote," Rixon continued, his voice careful now, "..that Caius is not actually your full brother. Different mother. Your father's

Chapter 159

Ivy's POV Noah's hand was around my wrist and we were moving and my brain was three seconds behind my body trying to catch up."Walk," he said quietly. "Don't make noise.""Get off me—""Ivy." His grip tightened. Not enough to bruise, just enough to remind me he could. "Walk smoothly and things would be easy, except you want me to carry you.."I walked and cursed under my breath. He got me into a car. Black, tinted, engine already running, someone in the front I didn't recognise. The door closed and I sat as far from him as the seat allowed and looked at him and felt something hot climb up my chest that had nothing to do with fear."Are you okay?" he said.I stared at him and laughed. "Are you serious right now?" I looked at his face. "Are you genuinely sitting there asking me if I'm okay?""Ivy…""You are the most unhinged person I have ever met in my entire life and I have met some genuinely terrible people recently so that is a real achievement." I turned to face him fully. "You

Chapter 160

Liam's POVKel came in and slammed his fist on the table hard enough to make everything on it jump. "What the hell is going on. Every pack in the region is pulling tight, the smaller ones are scared, all of them living in actual fear right now, and nobody is telling me why they're suddenly coming at Blue Elite with this kind of force.""Sit down," I said."I don't want to sit down—""Kel."He sat and I turned back to the young lad and looked at him properly. Two hours in this office and he had not wasted a single second of it. I wanted to keep him. That decision was already made in my head, I just hadn't said it out loud yet."Tell me again," I said. "All of it."He leaned forward. "She's innocent. Her leaving the party has nothing to do with any engagement with your rivals, nothing connects her to that meeting, not timing, not location, not motive. Whoever built this case against her did it fast and they did it sloppy and that means they panicked." He glanced sideways at my uncle sit

Chapter 161

Ivy's POVNoah's arm was tight around me and the knife was still at my neck and I was trying very hard not to show him that my legs were shaking because I refused to give him that.I was weak. Not scared, weak, the kind that came from the inside out, like my body had been running on empty for too long and had finally decided to submit the invoice. Everything hurt in a dull heavy way that I couldn't place and couldn't explain and I had no time to think about it because Noah was pressing the blade slightly harder and talking and I needed to stay present.Then Liam's scent hit me.And something completely strange happened.My wolf surged so hard I almost gasped out loud, howling, thrashing, excited in a way she had never been in my entire life, and at the same time my knees nearly buckled and I felt both stronger and weaker simultaneously and I had absolutely no explanation for it. Stronger because he was here, because his scent settled over me like something covering something exposed,
